  • Kate Danley: The Widow of Tom's Hill

    A haunting script filled with atmospheric tension and mystery. Aleks paints this world so vividly, you can almost hear the sea and taste the fog. It's a love story and a ghost story and an apocalyptic tale from a century ago. Perfect fall fare!

  • Kate Danley: Dried Cherries: A Sequel to The Cherry Orchard

    An absolute scream! (While also tackling some big topics.) If you have a classical theatre, add this to your season. It's Chekhov with guest appearances by some of Shakespeare's clowns! This play is filled with so many delightful references. It absolutely tickled me, and I think it would bring both guffaws of laughter and thoughtful appreciation from classical theatre fans.

  • Kate Danley: Prompt 16

    Oh man... for a one-minute short, this sure hits the struggles we face as playwrights hard. (And HILARIOUSLY.) I know prompts and themes from soliciting theatres are supposed to be fun and align us with their mission, but sometimes it really feels like this play. Well done! And I hope that this makes it into a ton of one-minute play festivals.

  • Kate Danley: My Miniature Horses

    A hilarious spoof of a kids' TV show! It gives a gentle ribbing to all the "educational" content in kids' cartoons. Your audience will be chomping at the bit to see this one. A total crowd pleaser!

  • Kate Danley: Benjamin Beater: The Tale of the Wrinkly Baby’s Sixth Cousin Nine Times Removed

    When the movie Benjamin Button came out, no one really thought to ask what it was like in the delivery room for the mom to give birth to a fully grown old man... until now. You'll never look at that story the same. In the spirit of Durang, this is a wickedly funny comedy!

  • Kate Danley: A Very Special Hanukkah Special (a ten minute play)

    An absolutely HILARIOUS short about Hanukkah! Great characters! Great jokes! And most of all, huge heart. Pick this one up for your theatre's holiday show!

  • Kate Danley: Blood & Blackberries

    This anti-fairy tale is rich with the dark spirit of Grimm's Fairy Tales. It isn't a happily ever after. In fact, like the Grimms, it is a story about what terrible things can happen when you go out into the woods. Or, in this case, blackberry picking.

  • Kate Danley: The Twisted House

    From page one, this script grabs you and never releases you from its icy grip. I love how it immerses the audience into the world and bends their reality. If the X-Files and Blair Witch and Knock Knock Ghost all got together and had a haunted babydoll who could see into your soul, it would be this play. This is the PERFECT fare for a theatre looking for Halloween programming. It is terrifyingly good!

  • Kate Danley: Crossing Lines

    A beautifully written piece with fantastic dialog on its own, but then the ending hits and... OOOF. That's the good stuff. Highly recommend!

  • Kate Danley: Xiernon from Glixtar

    Such a delightful short! It takes your typical kitchen sink dynamics and adds an alien to hilarious effect! This little grok triangle is out of this world!
